There were some totally tasty Yuletide tops on display at head office today – national Christmas jumper day.

We have a visitor in head office today – meet the gorgeous Harley, a two-year-old Sproodle belonging to our procurement manager Ashley Drew. It’s going to be hard to get any work done! Just look at that face and how cute is her hi-vis!

Look at the latest additions to our plant department! We now have 5 of our own MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms, for the not-so-familiar) and 1 concrete drum. Gorgeous aren’t they? But they won’t stay that clean for long ;-)

Our @Dandodrilling soil investigation rig and two of our @soilmecltd SF50 rigs at work on a fledgling education campus at Northstowe, Longstanton. We have a total of 4 rigs on site, helping to complete 1,372 piles – a big project!

Lee Durrant, our operations supervisor, takes a daily briefing back to nature, to a park across the road from our site in Hackney where two of our SF 65s wait to install 900mm secant piles and 450mm bearing piles.

Our newest addition to our Transport Division!

[Central Piling @centralpiling]

A very big welcome goes to our very first dedicated plant trailer which is tasked with carrying all our mini rigs, mobile elevating work platforms and heavy plant to wherever they’re needed. So it’s going to be very busy! In this case it’s the @Soilmecltd SM 12 on board.
